One Baby Sulcata Or The Other?

[FlyRiverTurtle]

Hello Everyone,

I am going to be purchasing a baby Sulcata & have the choice between two that were born of the same mother/father and supposed to be hold-backs due to there outgoing personalities and lighter color.

I can see one is a little bigger and much more rounded as the other is more typical? Can anyone help me choose and tell me why.

If you could pick one of these to be yours which one would it be from the attachment picture (hope I did it right) i attached to this post.

Thanks in advance everyone and glad to be here,
Stephen

I would go with the bigger one, if they are both the same age. To me, it says it's more healthy, eating more, growing more, just generally stronger. The smaller one may be smaller due to being bullied or it may either just be a slow growing animal or really not be as healthy as the bigger one.

I agree with everything Jacqui said.

BTW, don't forget to read Toms threads on the raising of a smooth sulcata. They are at the bottom of my post. The one on leopards also pertain.

I'd go for the larger one, for the same reasons mentioned.

This!

However, if you must limit yourself to one, I agree with the others on choosing the bigger one.
